We have a new RAV4 with adaptive cruise, plus all the other tech, can really do without it TBHAh well. On a positive note, never owned a car with adaptive CC anyway.
On the spec' sheet under the term ADAS. Includes the CC, lane departure warning and a couple of other things.

I've only experienced adaptive cruise on a Toyota. I hated it. My parents however have it on their Cadillac and they love it. There seems to be significant variation both in personal preferences/tastes, but also in the way it's implemented by different OEMs. To further illustrate the point -- I found the Toyota experience quite jarring and unnerving; my parents I don't think realized they had the feature turned on until we started discussing it!
It does not list adaptive cruise control? Intelligent speed assist is speed/traffic sign recognition which prevents you going over the sign posted speed limit.
My experience is markedly different from yours. It seems to be smooth without any sudden movements with the adaptive CC
If that's what the nomenclature translates to, then you're right, no adaptive cruise.
I doubt very much that they are adding interior buttons, and would imagine it would be through the HMI screen
Intelligent Speed Assist is designed to aid your speed control, enabling you to concentrate on the road. First, a front-facing camera automatically detects the current speed limit. If activated, the system adjusts your maximum speed setting to that limit*. Off of Ford. I have it in my land rover and have used it sparingly. Most of time if I want to conserve gas. You set to 65 and no matter how fat you press the throttle it won't go over 65. Another time was towing, when you can't use CC but want to keep things under wraps.
Sounds like if there is no easy turn-off method, a piece of duct tape on the windshield will do the trick!
That’s what it does? WTF wants that? I can see speed limit signs on my own perfectly fine.
I’ve never seen it implemented like that in a NA spec vehicle. If it is, I’ll wait for the permanent off-road mode “hack”.
It's a thing you choose to switch on. The biggest pain is when you are doing 65 and catch up to car doing 60. You want to switch lanes but that lane is doing 70. You have to turn it off and then wait before punching it.
Read above, best not use it in traffic. Hear is another reason that it sucks. Cars are all drive by wire. You don't get feedback in foot which makes it weird as the modulation is different when using the Intelligent Speed system.
